So what's Musical Monday? It's a weekly meme hosted by Tipsy Reader. With this meme, you pick the book you are currently reading, or just finished, and match it with it's musical mate. Think, "if this book had a soundtrack, what would be the theme song?"

The Book:

Scarred by Carol Lynne

The Song:
Hurts So Good by John Mellencamp    

When I was a young boy
Said put away those young boy ways
Now that I'm gettin' older, so much older
I long for those young boy days
With a girl like you, with a girl like you
Lord knows there are things we can do, baby
Just me and you, come on and make it up

Hurt so good
Come on baby, make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don't feel like it should
You make it hurt so good

Don't have to be so exciting
Just tryin' to give myself a little bit of fun, yeah
You always look so invitin', you ain't as green as you are young
Hey baby, its you, come on, girl, now, its you
Sink your teeth right through my bones, baby
Let's see what we can do, come on and make it up

A-hurt so good
Come on baby, make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don't feel like it should
You make it, a-hurt so good

I ain't talkin' no big deals
I ain't made no plans myself
I ain't talkin' no high heels
Maybe we could just walk around all day long
Walk around all day long

Hurt so good
Come on baby, make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don't feel like it should
You make it a-hurt so good

A-hurt so good
Come on baby, make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don't feel like it should
You make it hurt so good, hey, hey

The Reason:
I picked this song because the book features domestic violence. Not just physical but also emotional. It was this song or You Give Love a Bad Name by Bon Jovi. But in the end, I thought that the title of the song would be fitting because of the "hurt" inflicted by so-called loved ones. I know the song isn't about that, but the title is what I was going for.
